Manufacturing
A manufacturing corporation must coordinate an unending amount of work, from putting
together the components for manufacturing to shipping the finished product to the
market. To ensure the quality of each product, the conversion of raw materials into
final goods must be effectively monitored or managed. If all of these processes are
managed manually, it will be quite taxing on you and take up a significant portion of
your working day. In order to ensure that their consumers are receiving high-quality
products, the company will benefit from having an effective system for managing all of
these procedures related to manufacturing orders.
A business may effectively manage manufacturing orders, bills of materials, and work
centers, and track all manufacturing operations at every level with the use of the
Odoo17 ERP system. Odoo 17 is wholly reliable for the efficient management of job
orders. With the specialized module, arranging and planning each stage of manufacture is
now simpler.
We will examine the Manufacturing module for Odoo 17 in-depth in this chapter.
You will arrive at the Overview window of the work centers in Odoo17 when you access the
Manufacturing module from the main dashboard of Odoo17. As seen in the image below, this
platform will display all configured work centers in your system.
The work centers can be managed directly from this dashboard. You can keep track of all
the work orders for the specific work center by using the Work Orders button. You
can use the little monitor icon for this. You can access additional operating tools by
clicking on the three dots located in the upper right corner of each work center tab, as
illustrated below. You can take steps to plan orders and maintenance using this menu.
Additionally, it displays buttons for creating reports on performance, waiting
availability, and overall equipment efficiency.
To make the necessary changes to the work center's configuration, use the Settings
option. You can see a tiny red dot on the associated work center if the work center is
obstructed. There are no active work orders at the specific work center, as indicated by
the yellow color of the PLAN ORDERS.
